The relatively uninvestigated emotion of awe has been experimentally associated with a wide range of positive effects. The articles retrieved for inclusion in this literature review reported an increase in prosociality and group affiliation, improvements in mood and personal satisfaction, and alterations in subjects' conception of time which reduced feelings of impatience and enhanced their disposition to seek personal growth experiences over immediate rewards. This emotion also seemed to encourage critical thinking with regard to persuasion attempts, and to promote spirituality as well as the identification of purpose in reality.
